Good Questions: Does my landlord ever have to paint?

I've lived in the same rent stabilized San Francisco apartment for almost six years and I'd like to stay another six. The place is in need of a fresh coat and I'm wondering if I can expect the landlord to pay for it. Do SF landlords have any legal obligation to paint periodically even when there's no turnover?

Thanks,T.J.
